Tabaluga's 2.0

Yes, it's there. I must check it out myself, @SmilingGecko. I misspelt it. It's Rinaldo. Well, it's been a full day, after all.

@TAB Botch! I love it! I grew up with Siamese cats as mum loved them. We had Sawat (pronounced Sar-what) which is Thai (naturally being a Siamese!) then Pharoah. The next one was Samantha, I had a cat called Khanada after a Duran Duran song, then Nicholas.

I didn't have a cat for a while as my ex was allergic to cats (or so he said...) and then I adopted from the RSPCA and Cat Haven.

I then had Thumper, Loki and Dinah. Loki was a real character, his nickname was Dropcat because he would literally drop horizontally from trees, fences and rooves.

Your names are definitely more creative than mine!!

Loki aka Dropcat

@Bill16 Ratty is a great name for a rat! I had a school friend who had the same name for her rat.

Your breakfast - covering the 5 food groups and keeping you hydrated!

"Victoria only has 2 things going for it - VB and the Hume Hwy" - a quote from a Sydneysider friend 😁

.my boys got some quirks..he'll jump up on back legs to be patted but only if about to be fed lol.has to put on a show. He come and sit on allotted space on bed, progressively moving further away so can't pat him then I fall asleep and he either sleeps on bedding on floor or disappears.

He'll paw the bed , do a turn , coming back over same spot and just collapse sideways to lying down position. Sometimes he lets me push him over , sometimes he resists.hes strong @ENKELI

hahaha yeah nah not on the same plate ay @TAB

@TAB yep, you've got a keeper!

I've got a fridge magnet that has a love heart with a cat in the middle of the heart. It says "I tolerate you." The closest you'll get to cat love!

And you know that if you slow blink and he blinks back it means he likes and trusts you right?

Does he follow you into the toilet? Mr MM does!

Haha yes he does blink back. Smiles more often. Looking like he's lost a bit of fur between ear and eye. Not new tho.maybe notice as he plucks himself around wounds.

He used to re toilet. Then he'd sit outside. He cant be bothered lately @ENKELI

@Glisten my Tomaatii, I have no doubt that you are out and about, either building your table, visiting daughter or enjoying a sauna.

I've been in the garden and stopped to send you some photos. I definitely am loving my roo paws and now want to go to Zanthorrea sometime soon to get another one or 3.

This is your namesake

And this is my other one. It might be Glisten 2.0....

Hey @Historylover this Rinaldo opera is the absolute best! It brought ears to my eyes! What a lovely way to spend the afternoon. This is the one I watched - it had English subtitles.

@ENKELI yes its hard having to look after sick animals. I tried to string out my dogs life as much as possible. He had multiple health issues before he was put down. My vet told me when my dog was asking to go so I knew the time was right. My dog brought so much joy into my life. They are irreplaceable. Grieving is hard but these animals just walk into your life and steal your heart.
